There is an extradition request against Shabbar and his wife Nazia Shaheen for the murder of the 18-year-old , who disappeared from Novellara (Reggio Emilia) on the night of April 30, 2021, the day before her parents returned to Pakistan.
The two, although fugitives, were indicted together with three other relatives, an uncle and two cousins of the girl who, according to the investigators, was killed after opposing an arranged marriage .
According to the Rete 4 broadcast now in Pakistan " proceedings against Shabbar Abbas only for fraud, but the Pakistani police say that if there are official steps from Italy, he will be interrogated and accused also for the death of his daughter ".
